Hot Head Burritos to Expand in Kentucky With New Louisville Restaurant

Hot Head Burritos is bringing its mouth-watering flavors to Derby City in December 2026. The new restaurant will be located near the St. Matthews mall, making it a convenient lunch or dinner stop for shoppers and residents in Louisville and the surrounding communities.

Once open, guests will be able to build crave-worthy bowls, burritos, tacos, nachos and more from over 40 fresh ingredients topped with any of Hot Head Burrito’s Mild-to-Wild sauces. With plenty of convenient parking, guests will be able to dine in with friends or order online through a third-party delivery service for takeout.

The Louisville restaurant will mark Hot Head Burritos’ sixth location in Kentucky and 88th systemwide, continuing the brand’s steady franchise-led expansion across its core Midwest and Southern markets.

“Louisville has a great food scene, and we’re excited to be a part of it,” said Kelly Gray, president and CEO of Hot Head Burritos. “Customers are going to love our 16 signature sauces, which let them customize every burrito or bowl exactly the way they like it. And once they try it toasted, they’ll understand why our fans keep coming back for more. We’re grateful for franchise partners who continue helping us bring that experience to new communities and grow the brand one restaurant at a time.”

Hot Head Burritos was founded in Dayton, Ohio, in 2007 and offers a menu including burritos, bowls, tacos, nachos, quesadillas and salsas, featuring 16 signature sauces ranging from Mild to Wild. The brand provides gluten-free, vegetarian and allergy-friendly options.
